At first I thought the same that is why I tried to hear about this. Very hard to believe.. Dont know but I figured someone validated this story. But again couldnt hear the news story on it.

Alex Herrman, 17, claims he has correctly predicted all 32 first and second round games. Northern Iowa over Kansas? He had it. Ohio over Georgetown? No problem. Saint Mary's, Cornell and Washington to the Sweet 16? Yep.

I'm good at math," Herrman told NBCChicago.com. "I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game."

Herrman entered his bracket via CBSSports.com's bracket manager, which is designed for private groups and does not include any cash prizes for the winner like other online games do. A CBS representative e-mailed Tuesday evening to say that the person who creates the group is able to alter the brackets after the games have started, so CBS doesn't monitor the results.

You can click here to see Herrman's bracket. As much as you hope that Herrman didn't alter his bracket after the fact, it's certainly understandable if you're skeptical considering the long odds.

According to VegasWatch.com, the chances of picking every game in the first two rounds correctly is about 1 in 3.4 billion, worse odds than the lottery ... or crossing the street without getting hit by a bus. The odds slip to 1 in 7.2 trillion for coming up with the perfect bracket from the opening round to the title game.

"I checked his bracket and it was off the chart," Herrman's brother Andrew said. "I thought it was big deal."

Herrman picked Purdue to win the national title because it's his brother's alma mater. It's a major long shot to most of us, but if the rest of his bracket's legit, who are any of us to argue?

Don't know any of his other picks but I do know he's got the Boilers to win it all...Who the hell am I to question the kid...My bracket was done last week...OOPS sorry didn't see the last line in the post above

[mavskidd02]

This was all a hoax, correct?

[umreb78]

No I don't think so. It has been reported on NBC, ABC and FOX and I haven;t seen a retraction. If you have, please post it to restore my faith in probabilities.lol

The bracket was never verified by CBS. And the private league they are in allows the editing of brackets post-game time. That's enough for me, considering this is one in a billion in a first place.

I also heard from a friend this was all fake, I will look for an article. I am fairly certain this is all made up.

Not to mention he lost a game last night with Syracuse.
